Where it started
One diagnosis sparked a league of support.
Lauren Daniels founded HEAL in 2004 — and a community has been growing ever since.
One diagnosis became a calling.
When Lauren faced breast cancer at 35, her children ranged from 1 to 11. She and her husband Sean were deeply grateful for the help they received during that trying time.
Lauren turned adversity into purpose — and one mom's experience became a community that still walks alongside Arizona families today.
That same spirit still guides us.
What began with one family now shows up in practical help across Arizona — in ways moms can feel throughout the year.
